I did this conversion almost a year ago and it was worth every $$$. Getting braided brake lines for the C5 up front and LT1 or LS1 in the rear was kind of tricky. I just ordered some C-5 front brake lined from Paragon Performance They cost me 59.00 +4.50 S&H. That was just for the front 2 lines. Part # I used was PLC 972001 There may be other lines that will work as well. I would buy from them again because there was almost no wait for the lines, and he made them for me. They came with washers too.
Now if someone has some new and better info feel free to corrrect my info. My lines have worked good since the install. James

:::5 minute update::: Paypal confirmed the transaction so it should be all good. I only had a concern because immediately after sending the payment and typing this initial response, my computer magically (Blaster Worm) restarted itself and I wasn't sure if I had lost anything or if the transaction had gone through. But all is well, it went thru, I have the conformation email and I cannot wait to get my brackets.!!!!!!

The only risk is that you might not be able to get them if you don't hurry!!!

I am open to any and all suggestions. Especially since I was just involved in an accident 3 1/2 weeks ago, I am looking to upgrade my brakes big time. Though my brakes had NOTHING to do with the wreck, I was at a stop sign, sitting still and was rear ended, I would still like to get the best brakes I can on this sucker for peace of mind issues alone.

Unless your car sees some serious track time, I dont think you'll need to worry about the rears. They do maybe 25% of the stopping on our cars.
I would say the more cost effective route with the rears (if you really want to upgrade them) is to get a really good set of rear rotors and pads. That will make for a nice improvement. Pretty much all the F-body guys I race with take this route, as will I.

What more can one say??? The only risk is that you might not be able to get them if you don't hurry!!!

Seems like sound advice, no sense spending tons of extra money on the rears if I don't have to. Thanks for the info.
I just looked and we did discuss this about 4 pages back. Sorry y'all, I take too much medication for my short term memory to process things properly so I apologize.
